My feedback is very positive. Booking my appointment was very simple. The fact Maria comes to my home is perfect as travel is tricky considering my operation. With regards to Maria, she is always punctual and friendly. The treatment hurts but it is to be expected and she is very good at explaining why it hurts, to help me understand and therefore not worry. She is also very good at pushing me hard but not too far that I feel it is an unreasonable expectation. So I am very happy with the current service.

I am fully satisfied with the service. Your communication and flexibility have been excellent. James is also excellent. He was very patient and thorough in his questions to my father-in-law. His first attempts at getting him to do a few exercises were also very good. I am very happy and relieved that the physiotherapy looks like it will be effective in getting my father-in-law out of bed and able to take a few steps to sit in his chair.
